This one should be pretty short! Saturday, we got up, had our last brekkers on the Island and headed down to the classroom. We cleaned up the tables and work areas, organized the gear and put it away. Those who had borrowed rods / reels & tackle returned said items.
Once the room was looking presentable, we did our SEI's (yes - THE Ohio State University makes you do them, EVEN on the Island...), asked any final questions then began the exam.
Our exam was broken into a practical and written section. For the practical - we had to submit examples of our harnesses and rigs so that Prof. Snyder could see that we learned how to tie our knots correctly. The 2nd part of the practical was looking at slides and answering questions like: "what is this fish", "how do you catch this type of fish", "what is this item and how is it used in fishing", and similar questions. As soon as we were all done with that - we began our written exam. This asked questions on material we learned during the week - fish migration patterns, information about navigational tools, sonar, equipment, diseases fish in the Lake may be subject to, Lake Erie ecology, and the like.
Following the exam - we turned in our keys, grabbed our gear, and caught the water taxi to the docks on S. Bass Island where I hopped the Jet Express bound for Sandusky and headed home!
That was the last day on the Island!
I'll make one more post in a day or two with final reflections on the experience as a whole. Until then...
